What We Do?Snuggle Care partners with organizations, churches and schools to conduct new stuffed animal drives. We can provide guidance for school, scout or community groups to conduct the drive as a service project.

After animals are collected, they are distributed though our network of partner recipient organizations for use within their programs.

Why Stuffed Animals?Research has shown that many children who are presented with a stuffed animal during a time of stress or trauma will recover faster or show less signs of post traumatic stress. The improvement is attributed to the child being able to take control of their situation by transferring their fears to the animal and then "caring" for it.

Although the ground-breaking research on this topic was conducted in the war-torn middle east in 2008, use of this technique has spread around the globe to include Tsunami survivors in Japan and earthquake victims in Haiti.

But children in our local communities face trauma every day - perhaps through the disruption of the family unit due to neglect or abuse, the death of loved ones, loss due to fire, or even car accidents. Children impacted by these events can benefit by the therapeutic effects of stuffed animals.
